Bear Misses Paris...

Bear of late, has let it be known that New York is not all it's cracked up to be. Bear misses Paris like crazy.

Where are the petit dej' at Angelina, Bear keeps asking?More to come this Friday. Bear has not poured over a single elegant menu since setting foot on New York shores and is missing the process terriblement. Normally neither a coffee drinker nor a wino, Bear got used to going to Paris bistros... Bear browsing became a habit and is much missed in NYC... Although Bear had serious reservations about this artwork at Art-Paris, it was nice to be represented. More to come on Art-Paris soon... Playing at 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' became a fav pastime in Paris. i.e. testing various chairs out for comfort and ease, like at Art-Paris... Bear loved the IKEA sofas in the Paris Metro. Lucky they were nailed down securely - very tempting indeed. The best chair of all was at the Paris Ritz Hotel, while Bear waited for macaron class to begin... In fact Bear is fancying himself a wannabe Paris Ritz bell boy...Not only is the location on rue Cambon near Chanel and D&G, but Fauchon is just a skip away. As a Ritz bell boy, Bear could have a FAB$$$ apero by Colin Field in The Bar Hemingway just to the right of the front door... Plus Bear could get an instant shot of inspiration for the Great Paris Novel he's thinking of writing...Though born and bred in Paris, Bear has Russian ancestors. What bear doesn't? Where are the Russkie buskers in the New York subway Bear asks? Nary a single macaron has passed Bear's lips since arrival in NYC.c'est triste non?

Awww, pauvre ourson! He is homesick for Paris, poor thing! We all hope that le petit ourson can return again soon. In the meantime, I hope he can "bloom where he is planted." New York is a fabulous city in its own right! I hope he can make some new friends and find some new snacks he enjoys there, too. :)

As daily reader of your Paris breakfast blog which I enjoy very much. My daughter and I are currently in Paris which we do every year. Yesterday we went to YSL exhibit which was great. Then I went and bought those gloves you had on your blog from Louis Vittion love them.

Carol, why not move to Paris? If I had discovered Paris ten years ago instead of my daughter's junior year of college, I would have moved there so fast and been a psychoanalyste to all the ex-pats who speak anglais. I know exactly how you feel--nothing is more painful than coming back from Paris!http://www.psychnews.usJeanI adore Paris.

I wonder if I should write to you in English or in French, being French living in Ct. I love reading all about Paris, my family comes from there , but as for me I was born in Saumur. Such a pleasure it is reading your blog.

I'm also a great lover of Poilane bread and I remember reading somewhere in the New York Times there was a bakery in NY, perhaps in the West Village, that sells and/or bakes Poilane bread. Have you heard anything about such a bakery? I also love those wonderful French macaroons, who doesn't? I saw in the paper today that there will be a demonstration of baking macaroons at Macy's in the cooking department on April 20. I'll try to get there.

I just love Parisbreakfast and I look forward to reading it all. And your art is just gorgeous. I'm a dog lover too.

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
